Films I've used and would like to use.

Notes

• I'm lazy
• I'm also impatient
• Money solves those problems quite well
• Developing b/w at home is fun, however

Shanghai GP-3

• Very cheap film, you get what you pay for by all accounts
• About 3-4 AUD per roll
• ISO 100, 120 format
• I've developed one roll myself and the frame numbers from the backing paper are imprinted on the film. Quite shit, but not bad for first DIY development anyway
• I bought a pack of 10 rolls because why not, and if these are newer stock then maybe the numbers won't imprint

Kodak Portra 160

• 135 format
• Pleasing results for portraits, good colours, might lose highlight details easily

Kodak Ektar 100

• 120 format
• Looks to produce nice results, need to see some big prints and shots taken in ideal conditions
• 16 AUD sold as single roll from Fotolab

Fuji Velvia

• 135 format
• ISO 50?
• Expensive to get developed, can't DIY
• Results were pleasing enough but somewhat lacklustre, should've overexposed a little

Ilford Delta 3200

• 135 format
• Very grainy in all conditions
• Low contrast in low light situations, wonderfully moody
• Higher contrast in bright conditions, still grainy but pleasing
• Expensive to get developed, better to DIY

Fuji Cinevia 100D

• Single-8 format
• Daylight balanced
• 40' spool
